As I read your posts, tears are streaming down my face. Your stories are my story. Now I really can't wait to have the op done. Just the idea of not thinking about food 24/7 astounds me. Losing weight will be a bonus. I just want to have control back in my life. I don't want to be tired all the time and never be able to do anything - especially anything physical. I can't wait to be freed from my food prison! Thank you everyone for encouraging me and helping me get past the nerves and doubt.
